In this special takeover episode, Alfonso trades seats and lets his wife Helene run the show. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like living with the “Godfather of Real Estate,” this is your backstage pass. They unpack Alfonso’s honest (and very human) morning routine, why he guards home as a work-free sanctuary, how a Reader’s Digest feature nudged him from private to public, and the philosophy that still gets him out of bed when he doesn’t have to.

You’ll hear about conquering a fear of heights with one monumental leap, why he’d consider orbit (but not the first ticket to Mars), the five places on his travel bucket list, the superpower he’d choose (and why it beats every other one), parenting wins, building a marriage that multiplies momentum, and—yes—his guilty-pleasure TV universe. It’s vulnerable, practical, funny, and full of takeaways on designing a life that keeps expanding.

What you’ll learn

A realistic, no-hype morning routine that still powers high output

The path from private upbringing to public mission—and how audience = impact

Using fear as a compass (and why action beats anxiety)

The “expansion” mindset: grow or die—and how to keep creating after “enough”

Partner dynamics: dividing roles at home to multiply results in business

Alfonso’s mantra: “Success is what you attract by the person you become.”

Bed bugs, roaches, mice… and cash flow. In this Wealth Genius episode, Alfonso sits down with Christian Gilbert, an exterminator and real estate investor, to unpack the true cost of pest infestations in multifamily buildings and the fastest, most reliable ways to fix them.

Christian shares how a 2012 bed bug crisis pushed him to launch his own pest-control operations and a specialty “last-resort” service (888 SOS BUGS) that treats entire units, and even whole buildings, using high-temperature thermal remediation. We dig into why chemicals often fail (egg survival and resistance), how re-introductions happen even after a “successful” treatment, and why owner control (including enforcing prep, sealing building penetrations, and, when necessary, evictions) is critical to protect NOI.
